Editing Last call (section)

== Sweden ==
In [[Sweden]], explicit last calls do not take place, as it would violate a political principle not to encourage people to drink more. The latest allowed closing time of bars and restaurant is decided by the municipality but regulated by national laws and rules. The standard latest time is 1{{nbsp}}a.m. But in many cities a later time can be allowed on some conditions, like high security and staff educated in responsible serving of alcohol. In some of the largest cities, a closing time as late as 5{{nbsp}}a.m. occurs.<ref>[http://foretag.stockholm.se/Tillstand/tillstandsenheten/Lagar-regler-och-riktlinjer/Riktlinjer/ Riktlinjer för serveringstillstånd] (Swedish)</ref> During the coronavirus pandemic 2020-2021 the alcohol law was used to limit the number of visitors to bars and restaurants (only for those serving alcohol) by setting the closing time to 8{{nbsp}}p.m.
